Wealth Building - How Rich is Rich?

It’s actually quite hard to define in a dollar amount what rich is.

We often say so-and-so is rich because he or she has a high-income corporate job, buys brand new luxurious cars, dresses in fancy clothes and so on.

Although these are outward demonstrations of ‘rich’, crucially, that does not mean these people are wealthy (they might very well be of course but it’s not a given).

It’s actually quite hard to define in a dollar amount what rich is. It can be subjective and mean different things to different people. In addition, it can depend on where you live and the cost of living in that place. In 2003 Gallup poll of Americans the public's median definition of "rich" was an income of $120,000 - or assets of $1 million. But if you ask someone who already has $1 in assets they are likely to say being rich would be to have $5 or $10 million in assets. Some people are never happy!?

If you are rich, don’t be fooled into thinking you’re wealthy. If you’re not already rich, don’t worry about it, focus on being wealthy and you will be rich anyway. Whilst it may be difficult to know if you are truly “rich”, you’ll definitely know if you’re truly wealthy and for how long!

Wealth Building - Is “Rich” a Feeling?

Feeling rich is completely subjective.

In a way being rich is a feeling and you probably never think you’re truly rich or as rich as you could be.

Someone making $30,000 per annum will probably say that if they made an income of $100,000 they would see themselves as ‘rich’. How someone defines rich depends on their expectations and how they feel about it.

So the less money you have, the less money you think you'll need to become rich. And the wealthier you are I suspect the more money it takes to make you ‘feel’ rich. This is why very often the "rich" aren't feeling so rich.

As Mark Victor Hansen famously says: "The feeling of rich makes you rich. The feeling of poor makes you poor." It's is not the vice verse!

Wealth Building - Better to Be Wealthy Than Rich

If you are a millionaire, are you by default wealthy?

If you strive to build wealth rather than just get rich you’re basically giving yourself the keys to the vault!

There’s a massive difference between being wealthy and being rich. Not all rich people can be wealthy but all wealthy people can be rich. Confused!?...let me explain.

If you are a millionaire, are you by default wealthy?... Ahmm, not necessarily so.

A millionaire by definition is someone whose net worth (asset value minus debt) exceeds a millionaire dollars/euros etc. However, if a person did have 1 million in assets but theses assets were not generating income then that person by my definition is rich but not wealthy.

These questions explain will help you get a better understanding of wealth and what is the difference between rich and wealthy - have a guess and let me know what do you thinks on each of them in the comments area below.

I will talk more on each of them in my next posts.

• Why Making Money Won’t Make You Rich?
• How Rich is Rich?
• Is “Rich” a Feeling?
• How to Best Measure Wealth?

Strive to build wealth rather than focus on being rich. You can build wealth by starting or running a profitable business, investing in real estate, etc. The key thing is to focus on generating future income from these assets. Now you are creating wealth.

Think and Grow Rich – 6 Surprisingly Simple Steps to Turn Desire into Gold - Steps 5 &6

The accumulation of wealth has nothing to do with chance, good fortune and luck.

Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches. There are 6 steps to turn your desires into gold outlined in Napoleon Hill's book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ which have worked for countless others.

In my previous posts I have outlined steps 1 to 4 as follows:

• Step 1 - Pick a Number
• Step 2 - Give in Return
• Step 3 – Decide on a Date
• Step 4 – Create a Plan

Here are the last two steps to your wealth success:

Step 5 – Make a Statement

Draft a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, the date by which you will achieve it, what you intend to give in return and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate this wealth. This statement becomes your affirmation of intent.

Step 6 – Read Aloud Twice Daily

Read you written statement aloud, twice daily, once before going to bed and once in the morning. As you read – see and feel and believe yourself to already be in possession of this money and wealth. Doing this exercise evokes the powers of autosuggestion which allows you to communicate the object of your desire to you unconscious mind. The unconscious mind in turn influence the conscious mind, its daily thoughts and actions.

It is important that you follow the sequence of steps described in this article and especially make sure you carry out point # 6 as this will ensure your money attainment and wealth creation programme seeps into your unconscious mind and you will become an unstoppable force just like a heat-seeking missile.

Think and Grow Rich – 6 Surprisingly Simple Steps to Turn Desire into Gold – Steps 3 & 4

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Not a hope, not a wish but a pulsating desire.

Oscar Wilde famously said “we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”. Similarly, you may be down and out financially right now but your thoughts could be those of a king.

In his book Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill presents the idea that “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve”.

I have summarized the 6 simple steps to turn your thinking so that it achieves the wealth and prosperity you desire. In my previous post I spoke about being specific in what you want and deciding on what you will give in return. (Think and Grow Rich Steps 1 & 2 )

Here are the next two steps:

Step 3 – Decide on a Date

Pick a specific date in your calendar by which you intend to posses the wealth and money your desire. Setting a date focuses the mind and is a great motivator. Time bound goals are measureable and therefore more achievable.

Step 4 – Create a Plan

Develop a definite plan to achieve your desire and begin it at once, putting it into action immediately, no matter whether you think you are ready or not. It’s important not to delay the taking of action. Act immediately even if the plan isn’t perfected.

It is irrelevant whether you are stone broke or have just a small amount of money in your bank account. If you truly desire money and wealth you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself you will acquire it. In fact, no convincing is required. Your desire combined with these 6 steps will ensure your success.

Think and Grow Rich – 6 Surprisingly Simple Steps to Turn Desire into Gold – Steps 1 & 2

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is one book you absolutely must read if you are serious about the business of getting rich.

The following statement best summarises the premise of the book and the secret to attaining anything you desire: “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve”. I have outlined the 6 simple ways to turn you desires into gold, here are steps 1 and 2.

Step 1 - Pick a Number

Fix your mind on the exact amount of money you desire. Don’t be fuzzy about it. Rather than say you want to have lots of money someday, be more definite. Instead try saying something like ‘I want savings of 100,000 dollars in my bank account’.

Step 2 - Give in Return

Decide what you are going to give in return for achieving your desire. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Giving in return for riches gained is like doing a deal with the universe. It works kinda like the principle of fair exchange in business. You get something; you give something of at least equivalent value in return.

All who have accumulated great wealth or attained great success first did a certain amount of dreaming, desiring and planning before they got what they wanted.

Follow these steps and turn your desires into gold.

Next steps:

• Decide on a Date
• Create a Plan
• Make a Statement
• Stay Focused
• Read more on those in my next posts.

Build Wealth Quickly - 3 Simple Asset Allocation, Wealth-Building Strategies

If you are wondering how to build wealth, then this article will give you a good overview of the 3 typical ways you can build wealth quickly. These aren't difficult to understand and others have made their millions by excelling at one of these choices.

Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don’t recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets.

Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you’ve read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.

1. Investing in Paper Assets (Stocks, Bonds, Funds, Currency)
Investing in “paper assets” is a great way to start building wealth. It teaches you the principals of money management, capital, rates of returns, risk etc. You can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, and foreign exchange ("forex").

To help you get started, read full Wealth Building article here

2. Investing in Real Estate
Real estate is another great way to build wealth. With real estate, you typically buy a property and then make money through selling it eventually for a much higher value than its purchase price and/or becoming a landlord and letting the property. One of the advantages of real estate investing is using the principle of leverage (i.e. a mortgage) to buy an asset that you otherwise couldn’t’t afford. Leverage isn’t commonly available in paper assets investing (although you can buy on margin but this can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing!). (find out more)

3. Starting, or Owning a Business
Starting, or owning a business is another common wealth-building strategy. Starting a business doesn't always make you really wealthy right away. It takes time and energy to build the income of a business and its capital value, but it can make you wealthy over time if managed effectively. Therefore, if you have previous experience of running a business it can sometime makes more sense to buy an existing business and simply run it better.

How to Get Rich – 7 Secrets from the Richest Man in Babylon

Babylon. Its very name conjures visions of wealth and splendor. Its treasures of gold and jewels were famous throughout the ancient world. The book, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason, was first published in the 1920s. It is written in parable form using old-English and speaks of gold and gold coins in lieu of modern-day currency but the message is right on the money (excuse the pun)! In the book, Babylon is experiencing an economic downturn and the King approaches the richest man in Babylon called Arkad to teach Babylon’s citizens on how to create wealth.
I’ve prepared a summary of the fundamental ‘how to get rich’ tips from Chapter 3 in the book called “7 Cures for a Lean Purse”. Here are the first three:

Step 1: Start Thy Purse to Fattening
Spend only 9 out of each 10 coins earned. Save one-tenth of what you earn for yourself for worthwhile use in the future. This is the crucial first step on your journey to becoming rich.

Step 2: Control Thy Expenditures
Budget for your expenses. Make sure you have enough coins to pay for your necessities. Only pay for your enjoyments and gratify your worthwhile desires if you can do so without spending more than nine-tenths of your earnings. Make sure that you can continue to save one-tenth of what you bring in.

Step 3: Make Thy Gold Multiply
Put each coin to labour so that it may reproduce its kind. As you start to build up your savings, invest that money so that it makes more money for you. Don’t leave your savings sitting dormant in a bank account (unless it’s a very high interest rate savings account). Worse still, don’t leave it under your mattress depreciating in value!

What is Millionaire Mindset Secrets about anyway!?

Hi there, welcome! I've created Millionaire Mindset Secrets to help everyone from any background, anywhere get on the road to wealth creation. You might say BIG DEAL! Well, as someone once said, the best way to help the poor is not to become one of them. I've been stone-cold broke myself before. In my early 20s when I was a full-time musician i often slept rough in LA chasing my dream. I survived on bean burritos and Salvation Army rice! I painted houses and fixed gardens. I've lived in horrible bedsits. I delivered pizzas around Dublin once to save money so that I could fly to New York to play gigs. Yes, I've done all kinds of things to get by. Why am I telling you all this? Well, the reason I am telling you all this is that I wasn't born wealthy with a silver spoon in my mouth. Indeed, I've probably made more mistakes than anyone I know on the road to wealth creation. Now I want to tell you my story, share my insights, skills and knowledge (and that of other wealth creation experts) so that you too can learn the skills and techniques necessary so that you too can start living the life you always dreamt of.

I've been in business for myself for over 8 years now and I've both made and lost a lot of money. Thankfully now I know how to keep it when I make it! I've invested in property, I've bought and sold shares, I've set-up businesses etc., I've pretty much dabbled in most wealth creation techniques and asset classes and have learnt the long and hard way the do's and don’ts of wealth creation.

Why is wealth creation so important? I believe that most people are living unfulfilled lives and that oftentimes money (or the lack of) restricts people from doing the things they want to do in the way they want to do them. I'm not saying money or wealth is the key to happiness. It's not. In fact it can make you miserable. I've met many rich, poor people and many poor, rich people! But one thing money does give you is CHOICE. You can chose how you want to live your life. Wouldn't it be nice to know…

- that if you didn't go to work for the next 2 years that you had enough money to live on and pay your bills.
- that if you fell ill that you had more than enough money to provide for you and your family.
- that every day you are getting wealthier (without having to work 9-5)
- that you are debt-free
- that you had enough cash in the bank (and freedom) so that you could decide to go anywhere in the world in a heartbeat
- that you donate as much as you want to worthwhile causes
- etc.,

I think the best kind of life you can live is one that is balanced emotionally, spiritually, financially, domestically, health-wise, etc. Millionaire Mindset Secrets is going to focus on wealth creation and how to make money but it is also going to touch on other key areas in life (as I believe that you will be a much more effective (and wealthier) human being if you are balanced across the key areas in your life).

You are just one click away from discovering the Millionaire Mindset Secrets that’s taken me years to become skilled at.
